Some of those older receivers were great. Look up some older reviews on the model on google and even youtube. I'm using an older Denon from around 2003 for 2.1 desktop system and it's killer, and has been used nearly every day since 2017. I actually bought a second one exactly the same.
Also, if this is going to be used in a computer system, try starting out with 2.1 near field. I watch movies occasionally and it's wonderfully immersive set up as such and surround sound from there in that configuration would be rather redundant, or perhaps even too much. For music, I would not trade it for anything else, so at the very least, it is good for a strong music system if that particular model was of any merit back in the day.
